Crystals are believed to possess healing powers that promote emotional and spiritual wellness. Select a stone that best aligns with your intentions and goals – for instance an emerald for abundance or aquamarine for tranquility.
Crystal jewelry can be found everywhere from boutiques and stores to art fairs. When buying online, make sure your seller prioritizes ethical sourcing practices with full transparency on product sourcing processes.
Local boutiques and stores
Shopping crystals at local boutiques and stores is an ideal way to experience their energy before making your selection. In-person visits also allow you to ask any questions directly and compare stones side by side.

A favorite among witches and healing crystal enthusiasts alike. This store carries everything you need – witch wands to crystal balls! It’s no wonder this shop is such a favorite among both.
Art and craft fairs
No matter your belief system, crystals and gems are beautiful to look at and can add a pop of color to any room they adorn. Many beautiful crystals and gemstones can be found locally at art and craft fairs as well as online.
Before purchasing crystals from any vendor, be sure to research their credentials thoroughly. Verify whether or not they operate legally within your local regulations and ideally purchase from one that offers free shipping and secure payment methods.

Spirit Nectar Gems, operated by Marti Gutfreund and located in Madagascar, sources its crystals for every sale and donates $1 to local communities and reforestation initiatives. Her Etsy shop includes carefully curated bundles like this Mercury Retrograde kit as well as individual crystals.
Ethical sourcing
Due to reports of unsafe mining conditions, worker exploitation and environmental degradation in recent years, many crystal practitioners are opting to only purchase stones that can be traced back to their source. Ethically sourced crystals may cost more than mass sellers but this small additional investment helps support ethical practices while avoiding stones mined by children or forced laborers.
Moonrise Crystals, for example, makes sharing their sourcing information a priority and has over 238 types of gemstones for sale with eight guiding principles for their sourcing practices.
